What is Dandelion Doom?

Powered by one active ingredient—iron—Dandelion Doom kills dozens of broadleaf weeds down to the root without harming your lawn. Plus it's effective against moss, algae, and lawn diseases like rust and snow mold.

When to apply Dandelion Doom

Apply Dandelion Doom spring through fall when outdoor temps are between 50–85º F, and weeds are actively growing.

For best results, apply in early spring when weeds are small, and in the fall when perennial weeds are at the weakest point in their lifecycle—meaning you'll eliminate them for good!

How to apply Dandelion Doom

Before spraying, remove flowering heads of weeds to protect pollinators, and hand-pull larger weeds—anything over 5 inches tall.

Spray weeds

Point the nozzle at the target weed, and apply thoroughly to the leaves, stems, and top of roots—complete coverage is needed for effective control.

For larger weeds, split the root before application, then spray.

Spot-treat weeds across the lawn, making sure to spray weeds completely.
